I'd agree with what you're saying if the supply is plentiful. The question might be, with UK approval and a demand by British citizens that exceeds the available supply, can someone who doesn't have citizenship purchase DCVax-L at any price or won't it be available until they can meet all their own needs. Of course I may be wrong about this, but I would think that many have already banked their surgically removed tumors in hope that the vaccine would be available in time, assuming many of them are still candidates for the vaccine I would think it would take a great deal of time, and probably the approval of the EDEN units before excess supply exists that can be sold to others.

I don't believe that Sawston is fully built out for manual production. If they believe the EDEN will be available in a reasonable amount of time, I think they'd build some much larger cleanrooms intended only for the EDEN rather than packing them 12 to a small cleanroom. I don't know this is the case, nor do I know if our small cleanrooms have been designed to be easily converted into larger cleanrooms by removing walls that were designed to be removed.

Once we have UK approval I would hope that new trials would be underway shortly thereafter. I believe the EDEN would be specified for making the vaccine for any new trials and that too would help in getting it approved for commercial production. I would hope that UCLA also was permitted to use the EDEN in new trials as well.
